Episode 189
189. Angry Ma Gyeong-rok
Players wake up simultaneously at the same time when returning.
Therefore, their families have no choice but to wait impatiently.
Without knowing why your child won’t open his eyes, why he has been sleeping for 24 hours, or any other information.
“Hmm.”
“Hey, you’re awake!”
Christine slowly opened her eyes, turned her head, and was startled.
Because my father, looking haggard, was sitting next to my bed as if he was nursing a patient.
“father?”
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
“Uh, what happened? “Are you waiting until now without sleeping?”
“If it were you, would you be able to sleep? “My daughter hasn’t woken up for 24 hours.”
Father Nathan’s concerns were natural.
I couldn’t help but feel particularly anxious because I had already heard that I was going to suffer a disaster in the 11th round.
Christine was surprised as Nathan wiped away the tears that had come out.
Because it was the first time in my life that I had seen my father cry.
“Are you really crying?”
“Don’t misunderstand. These are tears that come from sleepiness. “Anyway, why did it take so long?”
“The time limit for this round was unusually long at 24 hours.”
Just then the door opened and Jeffrey came in.
“ah! You’re alive! “Christine.”
“It just so happened.”
Christine’s reaction was cold.
He didn’t even look at me, so he seemed really angry about what happened last time.
After being ruled by Yamti, any ill feelings toward the Prophet had already disappeared.
“Daughter. Anyway, what happened? “Did we really get attacked as predicted?”
“… … yes.”
Christine confessed what she had experienced with mixed feelings.
A surprise attack by the Church of Despair, the betrayal of a trusted paladin, and the appearance of the necromancer, the cult leader.
In particular, Geoffrey couldn’t help but feel angry when he heard that Paladin had tried to rape Christine by force.
“There is such a beast! Christine! “That guy is definitely dead, right?”
“He’s dead. “I saw it clearly with my own eyes.”
“I can’t believe I had such a satanic person by my side. “You shouldn’t trust the followers who say they’re following you around.”
“There is nothing to do but believe. “All of my colleagues, about 100 of them, were already killed in the surprise attack by the Church of Despair.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two people who heard those words kept silent.
This is because Christine’s expression looked extremely depressed.
“You don’t have to worry about me. “Now I’ve decided to shake off my sadness and wake up.”
“Is that so?”
“No matter what, we have to go to the 20th round. “That’s the only way to ensure that our colleagues’ deaths aren’t in vain, right?”
“You mean a wish.”
Christine originally had no wish.
It’s a wish, it’s a wish, and I’ve survived this far just to avoid dying.
But now my mindset has changed.
‘Black Scythe said it wasn’t my fault, but that doesn’t mean I’m not responsible at all. therefore… … I will save you. Even for the sake of my dead colleagues.’
I gained strong motivation from this event.
I found a reason to go to round 20.
Did he read his daughter’s changed eyes?
Nathan smiled happier than ever.
“As expected, our daughter is strong.”
“I took your advice.”
“huh? advice?”
“There’s nothing to worry about. Have you ever heard of the Church of Despair?”
Nathan and Jeffrey shook their heads simultaneously.
“What kind of pseudo-religion is that?”
“I guess it’s a religion made up only of players. “I think there is a military base in the U.S., but I have no way of finding it.”
“Leave it to us to find those guys. “Don’t get involved in danger again.”
“More than that, Christine. “Who saved you?”
Nathan responded to Jeffrey’s question and asked curiously.
“Okay, let’s talk. Who helped you get out of that situation? “Did your fiancé save you?”
Christine whined.
“no. “I never even met that person.”
“Then who is it?”
“The nickname of the person who saved me is Black Scythe.”
“Black scythe?”
Nathan tilted his head as if he was hearing this for the first time, but Jeffrey’s reaction was different.

“Uh, black… … sickle?”
“Why are you doing this, Jeffrey? Have you heard of this too?”
“Every time I listen to it. He is already famous in this industry. “He is the strongest player in existence and has never missed the top spot in the rankings.”
“okay? Are you American?”
“I am Korean. “Among the general public, he is known as the CPF unit leader for rooting out the remnants of IS in Nigeria.”
“Hoo? “That’s a player who does good things.”
Nathan’s eyes sparkled.
Although we have never met, Black Scythe’s first impression was that he was successful when he already rescued Christine.
“I’ll have to go to Korea soon and tell the story of how you saved my daughter.”
“But it won’t be easy to meet. “I have no contact with other people and wear a mask to completely hide my identity.”
“But isn’t there a way to meet them? “It’s so hard to find one person in a small country called Korea.”
Although he spoke confidently, Jeffrey had a negative expression.
If that were possible, the face of the black scythe would have already become known through the media.
Then Christine intervened.
“I’m going to Korea.”
“to Korea?”
“I will go and see the Prophet. “He might know the location of Black Scythe.”
“We exchanged numbers this time, but without asking on the phone?”
“It’s rude to talk like that over the phone. “You should at least show sincerity by visiting them in person.”
“Do you know where your home address is?”
“Did you forget? The person closest to the Prophet is my fiancé. “Just ask him and you’ll find out.”

Ma Gyeong-rok woke up and immediately threw away the stand next to him.
“Aaaah! Ssssssssssssssssssss!!!”
I wanted to throw everything I could get my hands on, but unfortunately, due to my neat personality, there weren’t many things I could catch.
“Whew, wow.”
Ma Gyeong-rok snorted like an angry bull.
I was angry.
In fact, his points in the 11th round were 0.
This is because I was unable to get out of the labyrinth forest for 24 hours.
‘Chief Ahn is probably screaming loudly right now. Because his will to become stronger was higher than mine.’
Fortunately, thanks to the black scythe, the Korean team was able to rise to first place and avoid extinction, but that was it.
Because I don’t have points, I’m in a situation where I can’t use special stores even when they open.
It was truly a piece of cake.
‘I was born with a silver spoon, so I can’t believe I’m just watching because I don’t have any points.’
In an instant, I felt like a penniless beggar.
Even though I had tens of billions of dollars in my account, I only felt empty.
As the expectations for the special store were high, the sense of loss was bound to be great.
‘How ironic. I got to this point while chasing the black scythe, but I was able to survive thanks to the black scythe.’
Even thinking about it now, it’s amazing.
How was that guy able to accumulate 20 million points by himself?
‘No, more than that, how did you get out of that damn forest?’
Ma Gyeong-rok, who fainted after being hit by Hwang Yong-min, opened his eyes late.
There are 3 hours remaining.
For an hour, I whined, cutting down tree trunks and trying to escape the labyrinth with Ahn Sang-cheol.
However, just two hours was not enough to escape.
Since I spent the whole day in the labyrinth-like forest, my points had to be 0.
‘It’s absurd, it’s absurd. 0 points. I, who was always ranked, got 0 points… … .’
While I was feeling more than angry and empty, Ahn Sang-cheol came in with the sound of the door opening.
When he saw the messy room, he looked shocked for a moment, but his face soon became calm as if he understood.
“CEO. “I’m here.”
“is it so.”
“Have you finished venting your anger?”
“To some extent. “What about Director Ahn?”
“Whoa, I couldn’t stand it anymore and threw a few things.”
“Is this even possible? “We have 0 points.”
“That’s right.”
“Director Ahn, who do you think is the cause?”
“Uhm… … .”
The reason Ahn Sang-cheol was hesitant to answer was no different.
To be honest, it was Ma Gyeong-rok who asked me to follow the black scythe.
However, as long as you are sane, you can’t criticize your boss right in front of your eyes.
“The primary cause is the black scythe that entered the strange forest, and the secondary cause is Hwang Yong-min, who made us like this.”
“Isn’t that Hwang Yong-min, that guy?”
“Oh, that’s right. In reality, they are undead. “If you think about it, I would say that the person controlling Hwang Yong-min was the cause.”
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s strange. How can a mere undead have such skills… … .”
Hwang Yong-min completely played with the two people.
It was an incredible skill for a mere summoned beast.
Even on the outside, he looked too normal to be an undead human.
If the Prophet hadn’t said he was dead, I would have believed it was the player.
“The prophet spoke clearly at that time, right? “Hwang Yong-min is dead.”
“yes. I heard it clearly. They also said there was a necromancer controlling him.”
“Then the Prophet will understand. “Who is behind it?”
They were not harmed by Hwang Yong-min.
It happened to someone who controlled Hwang Yong-min.
“Are you going to get revenge?”
“sure. You have to find the dog and tear her limbs and throw them into dog rice. ”
“Then shall we call the Prophet?”
“yes. I’ll do it myself to see if he survives… … .”
At that time, Ma Gyeong-rok’s cell phone rang.
I looked at the sender and it was Christine.
“Christine?”
-hello. Mr. Ma Gyeong-rok.
“You’re safe! I’m so glad. “Do you know how worried I was?”
There was a short silence on the other end of the phone, perhaps because the excited voice was unexpected.
-Thank you for your concern.
“How can you not be worried? We promised a future together. Besides, this round was a round with bad predictions.”
-I did.
“How was it? “Did something really happen as prophesied?”
For Ma Gyeong-rok, who was curious, Christine calmly explained the situation at the time.
The problem was that the listener could not remain calm.
“You almost got killed by the leader of the Church of Despair?”
-yes. He was American and had the ability to manipulate the dead. “I heard he’s a necromancer.”
‘Necromancer?’
When I heard that they were using the dead, my intuition hit me.
This guy is the culprit behind everything that he must take revenge on.
“What did you say his name was?”
-This is John Delgado from Bridge of Despair. Do you know anything?
“no. I’m not sure, but I’ll look into it too. “You dared to touch my fiancé. Shouldn’t you pay the price?”
-There is no need to do this… … .
“no. “I couldn’t help you at all in this world, so I have to help you in this way.”
Although Ma Gyeong-rok said it in a condescending manner, it was actually due to personal revenge.
‘Are you sure. This guy is the necromancer who controlled Hwang Yong-min.’
Looking at the timeline, it looks like he went to kill Christine after f*cking her in the labyrinth forest.
‘What’s puzzling is why they didn’t kill us.’
Judging by the fact that he also tried to kill Christine at once, he is a man who is not willing to kill for his own purposes.
A guy like that went out of his way to save himself and Ahn Sang-cheol and tie them to a tree?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out the reason.
Because there was no reason for that.
‘I guess I can ask why when I meet him in person.’
We will definitely find John Delgado of the Church of Despair.
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was making such a promise, suddenly remembered a question he had forgotten.
“Oh, by the way, who was the person who saved Christine?”
-You also know Ma Gyeong-rok.
“I know?”
-I’m a Korean player called Black Scythe. He saved me.
‘Black scythe?’
Ma Gyeong-rok’s expression changed to a shocked expression.
My fiancee’s savior was none other than the Black Scythe.
‘It’s because of that guy that I ended up like this.’
In hindsight, it wasn’t his fault, but there was no way to control this anger without blaming others.
-Anyway, Ma Gyeong-rok, I have a favor to ask.
“Please?”
-My father wants to meet Black Scythe. So… … .
On the phone, Christine hesitated before speaking.
-Can you arrange a meeting with the Prophet? I think the Prophet would know the location of the Black Scythe.
“It’s not that difficult.”
-thank you. I will contact you again when I arrive in Korea.
“yes.”
The phone hung up, but it was Ma Gyeong-rok who looked somewhat uncomfortable.
